Churros Rellenos – Tijuana

1:15 p.m. Off the corner of 2nd and Revolucion, in the heart of Tijuana’s tourism district, lies a simple stand hawking a churro to shame all other churros. For a buck twenty-five, one receives a foot-long rod of deep-fried dough rolled in cinnamon and sugar and piped with dulce de leche, chocolate sauce, or custard. Churros rellenos were not on the official chow itinerary, but it would’ve been a travesty to leave Mexico without one in my gullet.

    There are no churros like the ones in Mexico. *sigh* If only they made ‘em in LA like that.

    I love those churros. So far, I’ve tried chocolate filled, cajeta filled and crema filled and they’re all fabulous.

    We have exactly the same kind of churros here, at every corner, like pretzels in NY! Am I lucky or what?
